Disclaimer: needed a space to rant at myself, this is super boring so feel free to ignore
I have my first deadline of my final academic year as a PhD at 9am tomorrow. I am notorious for not being able to write until the pressure of deadline is upon me.
My draft should be around 6,000 words. As of 9am this morning, it was sitting at around 980 words.
I've been working ALL DAY. Twelve hours. And I've managed around another 3,500 words, bringing my grand total to 4,409 words and a measly 13 pages. I cannot go to bed until it is at least 15 pages, and even that is well below what is expected. And I have to get up for work at 630am. I have run out of things to say! My supervisor is going to kill me. I had all summer to put this together. AARRGHHH why am I such a terrible student?!! I actually really enjoy research and writing, I just can't ever seem to corral my thoughts together until 24 hours before a deadline... you'd think after 3 years of torturing myself this way I'd have gotten better at it. ACK. this is so not a good start to my final year... ?
